My thoughts on RB. Didnt everyone said we needed a Juan Foyte type of player to play RB? A CB playing RB? Well, I guess we have that now?

Seems lika really good person and likeable lad from the video on the OS.

Happy with this signing!

I like the look of this Abde from Barca.

Quick, skillful winger. 21 years old. Doesnt have to come in and set the world on fire at once, he could grow into it and become quality over time!

Absolutely mental… Boehly is a psychopath!

Crazy how far Potter’s stock has fallen too… everyone was going mad about him but no one’s talking now… can’t seem to get a decent job either… unless he’s willingly taking a long break and rest… can’t blame him really! After working at that madhouse!

I guess Brighton’s set up was a bigger factor toward their success than Potter and his team…  De Zerbi is excelling…

Again, Chelsea throwing millions, if not billions, at the wall in complete desperation… and incurring such a loss after sacking him…

Don’t know how they get away with it and only suffer minor repercussions…

Corrupt.

I guess Sweden would like him to take over our national team but we cant compete on the wages hes still getting from Chelsea.

I don't think Potter would be as eager to takeover the Swedish national side though...  

I like Icheanacho, as a cover for Ollie in PL and as a starter/rotation i Europe he'll be fine!

I do worry that he might jettison off our homegrown young talent for "win now" older Spanish and Italian players..

Well he has been successful at Sevilla for about 10 years. Isnt that what us Villa fans would like, to be succesful? Maybe let him do his thing then?

I have a feeling we might be the english club thats in for Moise Kean.

How precise are they, how much do they know?

 

Matt Maher is usually pretty reliable. I'd say this one is done!

We'll probably let Archer go. I have a feeling the last thing isn't said about Brennan Johnson yet. 

Cover for CB, Taylor Harwood-Bellis?

21 yo, has played alot of football out on loan and was pretty good in the Euro U21. Contract up in next summer I think.

Ferran Torres has been given the No. 7 shirt at Barca, don't think he's going anywhere.

Hmmm, thats a bit shit for us. He was the one I wanted the most.

IF the rumours about Buendia is true Coutinho will have a bigger role to play this season.

FFS fans banging on about "pure profit" when we are selling one of our top home grown academy players for 12mill. 

We shouldn't be selling him at all..loan to prem club will do. I know the club have stepped up a level in all areas but im fuming about this. All this buyback clause stuff is just trying to be clever when you are being stupid. We aren't Man City, we aren't awash with world class players and this isn't some Brazilian we picked up when he was 15 who has no connection to the club. If it was for what he's worth than maybe that could give some solace but 12 mill, we paid more than that for some from the MLS who is the definition of raw and who couldn't dream of ever being on a level to Ramsey technically.

God I hope we do have a great season to distract me cos there's loads of little things that annoy me about us "levelling up" on and off the field.

Maybe Burnley doesnt want to do a loan deal. Maybe Aaron doesnt want to be loaned out....

Ferran Torres a dream signing for me. A front three of Torres, Watkins and Diaby is something else!

Maybe he would like to go, maybe he is eager to play PL football right now which he will not do at Villa this season. Maybe he will do that (for Villa) a few years down the line but isn't prepared to go out on loan in championship again for a season or two? Maybe he would like to settle down in a new area and just get on with his football. Who knows?

I wouldnt want him to go, I would like him to be a superstar at Villa playing with his brother but I cant see it... Sometimes the club as to do business that suits them. That said, 10 million is way to cheap.

I really cant get the Matty Cash bashing by the fans? As I see it he is a perfectly fine RB for us where we are, pretty quick, has got a good tackle in him, good stamina, quality finisher when given the chance.

To get a better quality RB probably costs alot of money, I think were better of spending it elsewhere.

That said I'm all for signing that young spanish RB for a low cost as a understudy/rotation with Cash. 

I really would like us to sign Ferran Torres. Just imagine him under Emery. 

I thought Delfouneso would turn out to be a top level striker. I was wrong...

I do think hes probably one that we'll have to sell down the line due to FFP. With him coming on a free and selling on for a big fee should do wonders with FFP.

I dont want to sell him (I just want to add), but I do see that as a possibilty next summer or the summer after that. 

The club will not entertain bids for Kamara. The only chance he will go to Liverpool is if there is a release clause in his contract. I sure as hell hope not. Hes a Rolls Royce midfielder that will only get better!

He is a 24 year old winger that has just broken into the French national team. He will not join the saudi league, I'm certain of that!

What I think will happen is we will sign Harvey Barnes pretty soon and Joao Felix on loan to buy later in the window.

Maybe we will add a reserve GK and another defender aswell.

Cant see him leaving Bilbao or his brother.

This will not happen (IMO of course)

Cant see him leaving Bilbao, read into his history alongside his roadmodel and brother Inaki. They both are probably a one club player.

Wont happen IMO.
